The American North, South or Ancient Rome
As a group of four, you will examine the three economies of the American North, South or Ancient Rome. Each group will use this information to try to understand why they felt slavery was necessary for their economic system. As a group you will write a newspaper article similar to the Liberator (The North and the South, Vol. XXIV no.22 April (June) 2, 1854 p.85) that we reviewed to begin this unit.

 

Creating your article: Using the resources and worksheets from the previous activities, complete the Newspaper Worksheet.
  1. Choose a group: Ancient Rome the American North, OR the South
